Yeah. The actual release of the soundtrack was at Retrospelsmässan in Sweden but what I'm talking about in the previous post was the online international release.

Sorry, but no plans for a physical or a DRM-free version at this point.

We're releasing the NES soundtrack to Alwa's Awakening in 30 mins

Finally! Alwa’s Awakening is out now on Steam! It’s availabe for both PC/Mac and Linux. It’s been a lot of work and it feels amazing to finally be done! You can get it here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/549260 We’ll share more info about the NES cartridge with the music on it on a later date. :)

If someone were to contact us offering to port the game I think it would be really cool. We'd of course be willing pay for it. But we're not actively looking for Assembly programmers at the moment.

Not much happening in this thread but I just wanted to let you guys know we're releasing the game on Steam (PC/Mac and Linux) next week. Release date is February 2. Some updates regarding the soundtrack. We're going to release 100 copies of the soundtrack on NES cartridges (just the music). We have ...

Hi. We're doing a Steam Greenlight for Alwa's Awakening and it just went live. Even though it's not a NES game we're still trying to make it feel and play as much as a NES game as possible. Please check out the trailer and if you like it, please give us a YES vote. Thanks :) New Trailer: https://you...

Some updated graphics.

Hi everyone! We just uploaded a short video where we race each other. It was recorded a few weeks ago at a convention here in Sweden. It's the first time in almost a year we're actually showing video from the game :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohT_FelzToY It also has a medley of a few new track...

We just released a new track from the game. Tentatively called 'Dungeon'. Listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHFk_zBqkWc&list=PLB-flavnvl7LzU_nz_XiCkCLB0PQY4MV-&index=2 We're making some decent progress with the game as well - Load/Save/Delete Save file functions added - A fi...

Yeah. A level consists of around 30 rooms or so and we had to set up that every time an enemy projectile leaves the active screen it had to be removed from the game. And stuffs like spawning at a checkpoint meant resetting everything to their starting position was a lot of job for us. This is our fi...

Thanks for your tips everyone. :) A lot of the challenges with this game has been making the game work like a NES game. It took us quite some time to get simple things like removing all shots, enemies when they leave the screen to work properly. I've been studying other NES games quite hard to figur...

We're thinking of adding some kind of screen-shake effect. Like during the Bowser fight in Super Mario Bros 3.

What other games are there that shake the screen? And what is possible on the NES? I think I read somewhere it can only shake up and down and not right and left?

Thanks

Here's the latest mockup from the level called 'Void Tower'. This level went through three iterations of graphics. Since I'm the Game Designer and not the graphics artist this screenshot might use too many colors. The version we're going to use is Version 3.

Hope you like it!

I did an interview about Alwa's Awakening up in Stockholm a couple of weeks ago. Check it out if you want to
